UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, q***r New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

🌟TRANS FAMILY EDUCATION🌟: We are thrilled to announce that our family education support group, Learning and Loving Together, will be running twice a month from September to November 2022!

This group is ideal for folks who personally love/support a trans person and are looking for education on trans-related topics, especially those who are early on in their learning journey (though all are welcome)!

This group is a safe space for family, friends, and loved ones of individuals who are trans/non-binary/gender questioning. Topics will vary from understanding hormone therapy and its changes, navigating the coming out process, exploring feelings and reactions to our loved one’s gender journey and how to fully support them through their exploration. We will learn and connect through each other’s experiences in a non-judgmental and confidential setting. This group meets on Monday nights from 5 - 7 PM via Zoom.

This group is now being offered through CMHA HKPR’s H.O.P.E. Learning Centre. To register for groups, please visit our website. If you have questions or require assistance with registration, please reach out to TPO/HOPE worker Carl Cruise-Baxter at [email protected].

It's pride month in NORTHUMBERLAND!
Tuning in now....

This evening on Spirit of the Song on Northumberland 89.7 FM Small Town Radio, we'll walk the rainbow path with songs from some of my favourite LGBTQ2SI roots/indie/folk musicians!

Had an interesting conversation with a client today.....

Her: I suppose every month is Pride Month at PathWays
Me: I guess you're right!
Her: I feel really lucky to be where I'm at in my life right now
Me: I couldn't be happier for you.
Her: I just wish ALL my trans sisters/brothers could feel like this. I never thought I'd get to this point; today I can't believe that I ever doubted my capacity to fully be myself, out in the word. It was a really crappy way to live.

And that folks, is why Pride Month is important. Even if we already celebrate it regularly 😉
